Do you think a thirteen year old is reading a privacy policy, or terms of condition page? Moreover, do you think they're showing it to a parent? This highlights another prime example as to why there should be this deterrence. Maturity. A child will undoubtedly not be mature enough to take these sorts of guidelines into account when making their profile.

but you expect them to be deterred by being asked for their age?
